Running dpkg-buildpackage, I get one last warning: dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol sqrt used by debian/liblmmin3/usr/lib/liblmmin.so.3.0.2 found in none of the libraries. Obviously, users will have to use -llmmin along with -lm. Should I modify control to include a libc dependence ? $ cat rule

Thank you, Stanislav, for your helpful explanations. Regarding the name of the package: For many years the upstream project has been called "lmfit" (since the main application is curve fitting), but the shared library has been called "lmmin.so" (since the fundamental mathematical operation is mini
